Die Cut Printing

Door hangers

Are printed pieces, generally rectangular and vertical, with a big hole die-cut at the top, and whose purpose is to be hung on hotel room doorknobs. Door hangers usually contain, on one side, the text "Do not disturb" and on the other side, they usually include texts to tell the hotel staff that they can do the room cleaning. The user hangs the door hanger on the knob showing one or another side, depending on the situation.

Shelf Wobblers

The purpose of shelf wobblers is to make us stop, like a stop sign. Shelf wobblers are usually placed on supermarket shopping linears, whichever product is advertised.

Shelf wobblers display promotions on specific products to potential buyers. Their shape is generally standard, with slight variations. In any case, a shelf wobbler is designed so that it stands out from the shelf and is closer to the user's eyes than the product it promotes. In its upper tab, the shelf wobbler comes with a double-sided tape to attach it to its support.

As there is no need to be limited to the usual straight shapes imagination can run freely, being able to design suggestive shapes giving our print an original and distinctive character. The result may be very attractive, and we can get a print with a very personal touch.

Anyway, even if we have our head in heaven, we have to keep our feet on earth. This means that we must not forget the available budget to make the product. A display of imagination can lead to a very expensive die, so it is advisable to seek a balance between design / functionality / cost of the product.

In our online shop you can find a wide range of finishings available . As you can see, the minimum paper weight is 200 g. If you wonder why, the answer is simple: so that your die-cut prints have a certain consistency. Experience teaches us that die-cut products require a heavyweight paper or graphic cardboard substrate, so that they can effectively fulfill the purpose for which they were designed.

As an example, here are some of the most common:

• Flyers that can be hung on motorcycle handlebars. They are used to promote products for motorcycles, such as oils, preparation kits... or to advertise the services of specialised repair shops or companies buying and selling two-wheeled motor vehicles.
• Flyers to be hung on car mirrors. As in the case of motorcycles, they can promote products for our motor vehicles, or advertise the services of vehicle workshops, auto glass repair services... Although we already have our trusted workshop, it is useful to have alternatives to turn to when our provider is on vacation, or just to compare prices and services.
• Tyre change services. We could design a round-shaped flyer using a picture of a die-cut wheel.
• Car wash companies. We can make the design with the die-cut shape of a car, in which to display our washing rates.
• Cd-rom or DVD paper sleeves. They can be designed with 2 or 3 panels. One of them, provided with 2 tabs, is glued on another panel, thus obtaining solid, practical and original sleeves.
• Round parking disc. It is as practical as it is original. It consists of a set of a case + a rotating circle showing the hours. The cover is like a bi-fold with 2 glued tabs, in a way similar to that of a cd-rom cover; the rotating circle is inserted inside and fixed to the cover. This kind of product is printed by city councils, insurance companies... It is a very effective means of advertising, since this die-cut product is kept by drivers to park in limited parking areas.
• Fruit supply companies. If we supply apples, we can design our product with the picture of a die-cut apple, drawing the silhouette of that fruit. And so on with the whole range of fruit available on the market...
• Sheet container to include in notebooks. This is an original concept: a die-cut, folded-in-half cardboard sheet, so that one of the 2 sections is half shorter than the other, to which it is glued by means of 1 tab in order to become a bag. This bag is perforated and bound together with the covers and inner sheets of a notebook, and is usually placed after the cover. Its purpose is that users can insert loose sheets in it, complementary to the notes they make in the notebook. These bags increase the practicality of an already useful product such as notebooks.
• Kiss cut stickers. We are referring to sheets printed on adhesive paper on which a set of shapes has been designed that will be kiss-cut after printing, so that users will be able to easily remove such shapes from the adhesive paper sheets.

Actually, we can apply die-cutting to any flyer or advertising card. It is only a matter of conceiving a shape for the die according to the products or services to be advertised. In this, imagination is your best ally.
